Wool & Wanders:
The Lake District,
a Retreat to Make Your Own
April 12 - 19, 2024
Join us on the picturesque banks of Coniston Water for a week-long retreat filled with walks, communing with sheep and their people, and taking time to be inspired creatively by the landscape. Our home base for the week will be Bank Ground Farm, perched right on the banks of Coniston Water, and looking out at The Old Man of Coniston. From here we will take boats across the water to scenic walking points, walk to neighboring farms to learn about keeping sheep in the Lake District, and have plenty of time to relax. A few days we will take an excursion out of the area to learn about the literary greats of the region. From Wordsworth to Beatrix Potter, the Lake District has attracted many people who fundamentally defined the Lake District as we see it today.

Cotswolds Walking Holiday
May 9 - 17, 2024
Join us for a sheep-and-fresh-air-filled adventure through the Cotswolds! Days of walking between towns to new accommodations will alternate with days to either rest and explore or to walk to a nearby attraction. Gardens, abbeys, and stately homes will delight; thatched cottages with wisteria climbing up their honey stone walls will enchant. All as we walk through the pastoral
landscape dotted with sheep. As we meander the miles, tea rooms and museums will provide even more cultural experiences throughout this idyllic countryside of England.
Heather proclaims that Gifford Circus is a must while in the Cotswolds and so it shall be. For our final adventure we will indulge our well-traveled bodies in the thermal spas of Bath England.
